Answer:

throughout the metallic structure allowing the atoms to slide past each other. This sliding is why metals are ductile and malleable. Ionic compound must break bonds to slide past one another, which causes the ionic material to split and crack.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Which element would mostly have chemical properties similar to that of magnesium (Mg)?

DanielleElmas [232]

The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.

Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.

They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration

The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2

The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are

$[Ne]3s^{2}$ and $[Ar]4s^{2}$ respectively.

Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.

mamaluj [8]

Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be $sp^2$ .

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be $sp^3$ .

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d$ .

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ .
